Unfortunately, Wharton has an 'open to the general public' policy.
'“The Office of the Majority Leader was informed last night by Capitol Police that the University of Pennsylvania was unable to ensure that the attendance policy previously agreed to could be met,” wrote Cantor spokeswoman Laena Fallon'.
'Wharton deeply regrets that the event scheduled at the School this afternoon with Majority Leader Eric Cantor has been cancelled'.
'The Wharton speaker series is typically open to the general public, and that is how the event with Majority Leader Cantor was billed'.
